You will not have compatibility between versions.

Jonathan, I have the same questions as you. I also have not encountered an 
authoritative answer.

You might encounter the same problem I did if you want to determine the 
default values of method parameters:

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/48738

Our solution is the same - try to parse the text ourselves because libclang 
and the python bindings do not expose it.

Hopefully there is a more authoritative answer about the state of libclang.

Thanks,

Steve.
